PAPER-BAG HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 18, 1908.

Application filed July 12. 1907. Serial 110.383.477-

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, CHARLES HORRELL, citizen of the United States, residing at Madison, in the county of Madison and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper-Bag Holders, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the ac companying drawings, forming a part hereof. My invention has relation to paper-bag holders; and it consists in the novel details of construction more fully set forth in the specification and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of the holder showing bags inserted thereinto; Fig. 2 is a side elevation of'the holder and Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

The object of my invention is to construct a wire-frame paper-bag holder which may at the same time serve the purpose of a card holder; one which shall be simple, and cheap, and one possessing further and other advantages better apparent from a detailed description of the invention which is as follows:

Referring to the drawings, a, and c, represent respectively the lower front and upper rear sections of a wire frame, the overlapping ends of said sections being connectedby the diagonal intermediate section b. The free ends of the wire are formed into interlocking hooks h, h, as shown. The sections 1) and c are connected by spring loops 1, similar loops 2 being formed between the sections a and b. The sides and base of the section a is formed into double loops 3, 3, and 4, between the coils of which may be inserted and frictionally held a business card C. The bags B are held frictionally between the sections a and c, the

tension being intensified by the springs 8 connecting the loops 2 with the section 0. The

opposite faces of the bags are supported transversely by adjustable cross-bands 5, 5, the ends ofwhich are loosely looped about the sides of the sections a and c as shown. The frame may be supported by passing one of the hooks it over a nail or peg in the wall. It will be noticed that the loops 3, 3, 4, are coiled in planes at right angles to the loops 1, 2, so that the cards C may be held against the exposed face of the bags B inserted in the frame. The bags may be removed one by one without disturbing the cards, and vice versa.

Havingv described my invention what I claim is: I

1. A bag-holder composed of a single piece of wire comprising a lower front and an upper rear parallel section, a diagonal intermediate section, resilient connections between the sections, and means on the lower section for holding suitable cards, substantially as set forth.

2. A bag-holder composed of a single piece of wire comprising a lower front, and an upper rear parallel section, a diagonal intermediate section, resilient loops connecting said intermediate section with the other sections, springs connecting the loops formed at the uncture of the lower section and intermediate section, with the rear section, and a series of loops formed on the lower front section and coiled in planes at right angles to the loops connecting the intermediate section with the front and rear sections, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I afIiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES HORRELL.
